Has anyone duplicated the function/appearance of the Dock in code?
Created a multi-button like view, where the view has several icons
displayed across, and when the cursor is over an icon, that image is
expanded (like under a magnify glass)?
In the Dock, each of those is a separate window, so its "expansion" is
a matter of completly reshuffling the winodws around, and changing
their sizes (probably with some help from the window server's scaling
routines).
So it's not a single view - you'll probably best off making a bunch of
different views/cells. I'd start with a sublcass of NSMatrix (since
that can already hold multiple numbers of similar cells), and override
the drawing and tracking routines.
I'm not at all affiliated with this software. I happened to come
across it a few days ago. It seems to do what you're interested in, so
you may wish to contact its author.
